For months now we’ve noticed a retro vibe creeping onto the hair worn on the red carpets and fashion runways alike. At the beginning of the year we saw the revival of pin curls and finger waves, but now the hair has gotten better (and bigger) than ever! From ponytails to beehives, these old favorites are getting revamped in trendy ways.

This season you can recreate any of these hairstyles with a colorful twist!

Back to the Future

Demi Lovato revived the 1950s hair roll with her pink-tipped hair. The look has ‘rockabilly’ written all over it, but if you add a little bit of color you too can rock a modern take on the pin-up look with color hair extensions. If you're a wig wearer, make sure to wear a monofilament wig when recreating the hair roll to ensure the most realistic look.

The 1960s beehive may have been Amy Winehouse’s signature style, but Teen Vogue magazine gave it a major makeover with huge neon dyed hair. You can get the same look without the commitment by clipping in colorful extensions into your hair or wig. (Psst… the brighter the better!)

Madonna brought back the “I Dream of Jeannie” ponytail in the 90s, but this year we’ve seen it on a ton of celebrities including Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato. Katy Perry gave it her personal touch with extra-long color hair extensions. A ponytail hairpiece can give you the high pony look. Plus, by pairing it up with clip-in color hair extensions you can splash some life into it and still keep up with the trend.

What will be the next trend to resurface? Whether it’s the Afro, The Rachel (too soon?) or the Mohawk, you can count on us to help you with the details!

Have you ever heard of a halo? Beyoncé said it best in the lyrics: “You’re everything I need and more.” And it truly is!

Obviously we’re not talking about accessories for angels but rather about a halo hairpiece you can rock during those “in between” times. The halo is a hairpiece you wear with a hat or scarf to create the illusion of a full head of hair. Some even come with a detachable bang!

Although wigs are now super light and comfortable chances are you’ll want to take a break from them every now and then. Halo hairpieces are also a great option especially if your scalp is sensitive due to medical hair loss. Not only is it a great solution as a wig alternative to beat the heat in the summer, but also super fashionable with your favorite headwear. You don't have to sacrifice your style with the halo hairpiece; wear a pretty scarf, a trendy turban or a floppy summer hat!

Before you put up your hair in a bun (yes, we know it’s the third time this week) hear us out.

Don’t let the summer’s heat wave make you run out of steam. There are many shortcuts to fabulous hair and wigs are one way to fix your hair easily into a number of hot looks for summer!

Whether you want short hair or long hair you can rock your favorite celebrity-inspired hairstyle with a wig. Check out some of our favorites!

Get the look with wigs!

Modern Crop

Get Emma Watson's enviable pixie cut with the Emma wig!

Talk about a summer shortcut! Go super short with a pixie wig for a modern and edgy style. Not only are you sure to beat the heat in this wig (it has a monofilament top) but this look is so low maintenance all you have to do is run your hands through your hair and you’re done! Who needs a brush, anyway?

Blunt Bob

Get Katie Holmes' bob with the Nicki wig!

The classic bob is fool proof! It has the chic factor that everyone can pull off. Add some blunt bangs for a fierce look. Katie Holmes softened this look by side-sweeping her bangs for a “blunt but not too blunt look” – simply gorgeous.

Beachy Lob

Get the famous Miley Cyrus' lob with the Nicole Elite wig!

The beachy lob à la Miley Cyrus is so young and fresh no one will doubt you’re a sun goddess. The Nicole Elite wig comes in the ombré color that is so hot these days. Apply a shaping crème on damp hair and scrunch the hair with your hands for a piecey look.

Bombshell Length

Get JLo's long luscious locks with the Zara wig!

The beauty of wigs is you don’t have to commit to short or long hair – you can have both! Go short during the day and bring out your inner bombshell for a night on the town. Long wigs offer a ton of versatility; wear them down, half up and half down, in a low ponytail or a side braid.
